BioShock

BioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen. You'll have a complete arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers, but you'll also be forced to genetically modify your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon: you.

BioShock 2

Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. Players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and their own survival.

BioShock Infinite

Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt. The year is 1912. Deep in debt, Booker DeWitt has only one opportunity for a clean slate: rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood in the flying city of Columbia.

This game is not a publicity stunt to get money, this is a homage to what some people consider the greatest trilogy of games of all time. While that's arguable, the original Bioshock is easily one of my favorite video games I've ever played. You'll never play or experience anyting like like it. The collection includes newly remastered versions of the three titles in the BioShock video game series, Bioshock, Bioshock 2 and Infinite. It's available for XBOX One, PS4 and PC for Windows. I kinda think this collection, even for as good as it is, it should be around 39.99 or 49.99. The full price tag, maybe a bit much. But for someone who has never played the series, you're getting a bargain for 3 games that will keep you occupied for some time.

The collection includes the single-player content and all the dlc packs, including Minerva's Den and Burial at Sea. That said, if you have not played this series yet, then by all means, now is the perfect time to pick up this game. For a game that came out in 2007, I normally would say this game has not aged well but it certainly has aged quite gracefully. But even if we didn't have the upgrade in graphics and audio, I'd say never fear, even without the graphics upgrade, the game holds up nicely. Bioshock is more about atmosphere before gameplay. The gameplay is rock solid, don't get me wrong, but as first person game, it may not feel up to par with current standards, but it's certainly no slouch even if it was launched new here in 2016. 2K blew fans and critics away when Bioshock was released.

The atmosphere is the main appeal here and you won't want to leave the claustrophobic world of Rapture. This not a happy game. There is so much terror and madness going on but again, that's part of the appeal. You've never played an unsettling game like this before. The weapon variety if fantastic and I'm amazed how I never get tired of finding new weapons and abilities. I still love mowing down those houdini splicers with my trusty Electric Shotgun! Not to mention my machine gun and my amazing plasmid abilities. As Jack, you are able to defeat foes in a number of ways by using weapons and utilizing the unique plasmids. The plasmids is one of the most enticing aspects of this game on taking out those nasty splicers and enemies you come across. Do you want to burn them a live with your inferno? Sure thing. How about shocking them with electricity when they're standing on water? Of course you can. How about using Telekinesis to throw large items at enemies? You know it. The game starts you out with basically nothing ,but the more you continue on, the more weapons and ADAM you can attain to survive. The unique abilities you attain seem a bit overwhelming, but you'll catch on in no time.

The level design is second to none, a masterpiece of craftmanship. I've never been so impressed by level design before. The places you visit are huge, but they're easy to navigate and that map obviously comes in handy. There's so many secrets and things to find an rewards to find depending on your decision making (I won't spoil that) but it will keep you constantly guessing what you missed if you go to the next level too soon.

The setting in BioShock takes place in 1960. That's one of the unique aspects of this game. It is a bit bizarre but this era fits with the weirdness of the story and the city of Rapture will be embedded into your mindset till your death bed! It's really that memorable! Story is fun and will keep you entertained throughout your visit in Rapture. You as the player guides the protagonist, Jack, after his airplane crashes in the ocean near the bathysphere terminus that leads to the strange underwater city of Rapture. As you play Jack, you try to find your way out and survive the onslaught of fighting through hordes of ADAM-obsessed enemies, and the iconic, deadly Big Daddies! Oh watch out for those Big Daddies! And that creepy girl never gets less creepy, yes, she's creepy! The twist to the story I will not spoil for you (for those who have not been to rapture yet) but it's a mind bending story that will throw you in many loops and that ending will turn your head for sure.

So what can you expect from this collection? Just a ported over collection? Heck no! But this is not just a trilogy, these are remastered games that run in full 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second across all platforms. I played a little bit of Bioshock and Infinite and I can say you will not be disappointed. The added details of the levels are quite noticeable and if you have any doubts about it, don't worry. I'd say these remasters look just as good as any current gen game out there. Nothing really mind blowing, but the upgrade is very apparent from the 2007 original. I haven't determined if I can tell if there are any changes in audio that I could pick out of the clear blue, but I do think it's been cleaned up and it sounds fantastic. Crank this game up for full effect and play in the dark. The added touches of the 60's vibe music, the fantastic cast of characters and Big Daddy and that creepy little girl that walks around, this game is a must for you to play and for me, it's worth playing all over again even if you played it before and now it looks better too!

I won't review the 3 games in detail, as most already know what you're getting into. All 3 games are fantastic. 2 probably gets the least love from most and critics, but I've heard from people in my circle and on many forums who actually prefer it more than the original. My personal preference is the original Bioshock, then Infinite then Bioshock 2. Again, I think they're all fantastic. Play them in order. Infinite doesn't seem to have gotten as much of an update, but also consider it not being as old, so it looked pretty good in the first place! The more openness of Infinite is an entirely different feel from 1 and 2 in the claustrophobic world of Rapture, but you'll love the story in infinite and I think the first person aspects are also improved from the previous game.

There's no better trilogy than what you have right here. If you have an XBOX One, or PS4, do yourself a favor, this get this trilogy now before the world of Rapture disappears forever! :)

As someone who played the original 3 games on Xbox 360, nothing about Rapture or Columbia was new to me. I didn't buy this with the expectation to be completely blown away by a full, top to bottom remaster of each game. What I did expect was to be completely engrossed with the amazing atmosphere, story, and characters of the Bioshock trilogy, with the convenience of not having to try and hook up my old Xbox 360. The collection, spread across 2 discs, did exactly that. I appreciated the behind-the-scenes extras as well as the "museum" included in the first game remaster. Bioshock 2 and Infinite are just visual updates, but unlike some remastered collections, the games stayed true to their original styles and didn't feel like a departure from the original atmospheres the developers worked so hard to immerse you in. These were beautiful games when they originally came out. They are still beautiful games today.

If you didn't play through the series previously, picking this collection up is an absolute no-brainer. If you have played before but wish to take a trip down the nostalgic corridors of Rapture and bright squares of Columbia one more time, you won't be disappointed.

This is the definitive console version of Bioshock 1, Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite along with all the dlc (minus mulitplayer for Bioshock 2).

PSA: if you own the PC version of any of the games on Steam there's a free upgrade so you can get the same experience there. Except for the "imagining bioshock behind the pitch" feature with seems to be an exclusive for this collection

The "Imagining Bioshock Behind the Pitch" featurette is basically an interview documentary/ director's commentary on how Bioshock came to be. You do not get the entire feature from the get-go rather you have to collect golden reels hidden in Bioshock 1's campaign. There are 10 golden reels to collect, each containing a ~10min video.

Graphical Changes. Every game in this collection has a graphical (1080p) and frame rate (60fps) upgrade. Some more than others, as Bioshock 1 seem to have the star treatment. Bioshock 1 they polish it up really nicely, but still within the confines of the old engine as Rapture doesn't look as good as it does in the Bioshock Infinite DLC: Burial at Sea; making it more of a re-master instead of a re-imagining. Bioshock 2 seems to have a spit shine instead of the star treatment Bioshock 1 has, but still looks good. Bioshock Infinite looks like the PC version at max settings.

Story. Bioshock 1 has a really good story of a failed utopia filled with a lot of twist and turns in terms of plot. Bioshock 2 although a good story is not as captivating as the first. Bioshock Infinite is the best out of the 3 with themes of trans-dimensional travel and it's DLC linking all 3 main games together. Some may say Bioshock 1 has the best story, but I say that's mostly nostalgia

Gameplay. Gameplay is drastically different in all 3 core games as the jump and/or heal button is re-mapped in all 3 games, which may screw with our muscle memory if you play all 3 games in succession like I did. Bioshock 1 gameplay/controls are very dated and I recommend playing the games in order because of it or you may get frustrated having familiarize yourself with controls of the other two games. Bioshock 2 (after playing 1) is a breath of fresh air as the gameplay is a bit more modernized being more fast, having the ability to use both plasmids and your guns at the same time. Bioshock Infinite gameplay is more refined and fluid as you are now able to ride on rails like you're on a roller coaster during battles.

Trophy Hunters. If you're looking for more PSN trophies then this game has it, 201 total to be exact. It does stack even if you played the original PS3 version as PSN sees it as it's own separate game

If you're a hardcore fan, never played any of the games/skip the dlc then it may be worth it for you. If you're a casual fan and have own all the games and dlc then there's nothing really new except the documentary, unless you want the definitive edition of all games on a 2 disc set, a trophy hunter, or want to re-visit Rapture and Columbia
